Our room was clean and had everything we needed for a 2-night stay. Nothing fancy, but can’t beat the price! Front desk staff was very friendly during check-in and shared great recommendations for local spots. The location was great too — so close to downtown SLO. We didn’t have any issues with parking in the lot either. We would absolutely stay here again!

The property looks well-maintained. Our room was spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable. I usually ask myself the question, "Would I come back to this hotel?" And my answer was, "Yes, I would come back to this hotel." Even though they charged me extra for my kid. The room had two queen beds. They could technically sleep up to 4 people so I don't think I should have been charged extra for a third person. Overall, we had a pleasant experience.

I have stayed here multiple times over the last yera, however, this will be my last stay. The new owners seem like they are trying to 1) cut corners on cleanliness/maintenance and 2) nickel & diming you for every little extra charge they can eek out. My child came to the hotel from CalPoly to pick us up for dinner, and when I went to check out I noticed the hotel increased our daily rate because we had "an extra guest". My student did not spend the night. The first 2 staff could not explain why, nor communicate effectively in English, and ultimately the owner finally appeared, still chewing whatever she was eating from the back room (where she was present the whole time and heard the various exchanges) to resolve the issue. Ultimately they refunded the overcharge, though it took over a week and 2 follow-up phone calls. It's creepy they're stalking guests' comings and goings so closely. I've chosen to not stay here again, there are plenty of better, cleaner properties in the same proximity, and those with non-stalker staff(at marginally more cost).

We have stayed here twice and it’s been easy and a good value for what we’ve paid. Always clean and good location off the freeway. About 5 minutes fro Cal poly so convenient.

Friendly staff. After being there for two nights myself, the rest of my family arrived before noon Saturday and they were given early access to their room without an early checkin fee. Very helpful especially since we wanted to get an early start to the rest of our day. Thank you, Avenue Inn!

Great value, short walk to downtown

Great stay for the price. Convenient, short walk to downtown. Friendly front desk staff, large, clean room. It was very quiet overnight although it wasn’t very busy when I was there so that may be different if the hotel was fully booked.
